Ch.3 A Spark of Resistance

(The morning after the last chapter)

Lucy would wake up to the sun slowly rising, she'd sit up and stretch and look at Nya sleeping beside her, she'd smile and kiss her forehead

"So beautiful and she's all mine…let's just make sure the corrections I made worked…"à

She'd take a specially designed tablet her mothers made off her nightstand and point the camera at Nya, it'd scan her and Nya's code would pop up on the screen, Lucy would look over the data and smile.

"So the corrections are in place…that'll be useful…hmm…things seem to be working…but can never be too careful…oh and I see the slight modifications I did do went without a hitch! Quite impressive for a first time on a live being and not in a simulator!" Lucy would smile

She'd put the tablet back on the nightstand as Nya would wake and stretch

"Good morning my lovely!" Lucy would kiss her on the forehead

"Morning princess! Sleep well?" Nya would ask keeping the blankets over her

"I slept terrifically! Especially after what we did!"

Nya would blush heavily and Lucy would giggle

Nya would sit up. "Shall we be getting ready than?"

"Of course follow me! I have so many different makeup options for you to try!" She'd take her hand and lead her to the bathroom, after the 2 had washed Lucy would sit Nya on a bench infront of a large mirror.

"If you don't mind…I'm going to make 1 alteration…I want to make your hair long now…I hope you don't mind?" Lucy would ask

"If you wish it so be it." Nya would respond happily

Lucy would smile and retrieve her tablet from the night stand, she'd walk back to Nya and tap and swipe away at the tablet

Nya would wait patiently

"Sorry while my mothers can do this in a flash I'm still on the slow side…" Lucy would state

"No issue." Nya would respond

"Ah here we go!" Lucy would set her tablet down and her right hand would glow brightly

"This won't hurt a-bit!" She'd state as she'd gently place a finger on Nya's forehead

Nya would glow brightly for a few seconds, as the glow would fade her hair would grow to a length more acceptable to Lucy, however there was a problem, Nya would look slightly horrified as she'd look around

Lucy would quickly catch on and look at her tablet. "Hmm…I may have gotten rid of the corrections I put in her mind…I could try redoing that…no it'd take too long…she's probably already running…" She'd think to herself and sigh as she'd look up and would be surprised to see Nya still sitting there

"Something wrong Lucy?" She'd ask

"You're not…escaping?"

"I made a deal with you last night…my brother's freedom from your family's torment and unlimited visitation with my mother in exchange for essentially becoming your property…I'm not going to break that…though I only wanna know…why did you alter me?"

"To be super blunt? I used you as a test run for Nikki…"

"Huh?"

"Oh we both know whatever I offer Nikki she's going to try and punch me in the face…Vick radicalized her…she's been feeding him information about my schemes since day one of our friendship…figured with her I go full leash before slowly but surely slacking…"

"So your turning her into a puppet that says yes?"

"No hence the test run…I see the corrections I planned on implementing were too strong…hence why I shut them off on you as I accelerated your hair growth…"

Nya would give her a look not believing her

"Questioning me already?" Lucy's eye would twitch

"Nope! I'm satisfied with that…just don't do that again please?"

"Oh don't worry that test run told me everything I needed to know…now back to the task at hand!"

Nya would turn back towards the mirror when Lucy would put a hand on her chin and turn her head to look her in the eyes

"I'm happy you agreed to the deal…but your leash in short…you made vows last night…breaking them will end you…"

Nya would shake nervously. "Understood…"

"I'll keep my end aslong as you keep yours…"

"Then you don't need to worry…I signed my life away to you last night…it shall remain that way to my dying breath…"

Lucy would smile. "I knew I made the right choice choosing you!" She'd kiss Nya on the forehead

(Meanwhile)

Kevin would get out of the shower and see Ella on his couch sending urgent text after urgent text

"Everything ok?" He'd ask

"Nya hasn't responded all morning! She's up at 7 sharp every day! And I know Lucy's rise and shine at the crack of dawn at 6! It's 8 now and Nya still hasn't answered! No way those 2 are still asleep!"

"Lucy plans on presenting Nya to my mothers at breakfast…she's probably preparing her for that…"

"Mod I already hate the sound of that!"

"I'm sorry but Lucy was going to harm everyone…it was either 4 girls or everyone…and I'm sorry but I had to make sure the majority stayed safe from her…" Kevin would state

"HOW THE HECK ARE ANY OF US SAFE FROM HER?!" Ella would angrily ask

"Lucy keeps her word…and it was Nya, Nikki, Linke and Christie in exchange for everyone else…" Kevin would calmly respond

"SO ALL MY FRIENDS! THE EXACT PROBLEM I TOLD YOU!" Ella would scream

"They chose to get close-" Kevin would begin to speak as Ella would cut him off

"LIAR! YOU KNOW THEY WEREN'T GIVEN A CHOICE! CAUSE NEITHER WAS I! I'D BE IN NYA'S POSITION RIGHT NOW IF YOU HADN'T TAKEN A LIKING TO ME!"

"Ella you have understand-" Kevin would again go to speak just to be cut off again

"WHAT IS THERE TO UNDERSTAND?! MY FRIENDS ARE DOOMED!"

Kevin would remain silent

"I gotta warn them…they're in danger…" Ella would grab her phone

"Don't…the decisions already been made…"

"I'M WARNING THEM YOU CAN'T STOP ME!"

"One more text and your all Lucy's…" Kevin would state coldly

Ella would look at him shocked, confused and enraged. "WHAT?! YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME YET YOU THREATEN ME WITH THAT?!"

"It's not a threat it's a promise…" Kevin would speak in a cold dark tone almost mimicking his mothers

Ella would shake nervously staring at him defiantly. "You know what awaits them…why the hell shouldn't they know?"

"As I said a deal was struck…I don't like it but it guaranteed the safety of everyone else from my power hungry sister…and honestly…it's for the best they don't know…live their last unaltered days in relative peace…"

"WHY ARE TALKING CALMLY ABOUT THAT AS IF THIS IS NOTHING TO YOU?!"

"I'm just seeing the bigger picture…"

"Bigger picture?! You're not making sense! What did Lucy do to you to make you accept that deal?!"

"The deal was decided end of story now put the phone down and get ready for breakfast…"

Ella stare at him defiantly. "You wouldn't dare…"

"She's a phone call away from skipping down the hallway and taking you…do…not…test me…"

Ella would shake nervously

"Now give me that damn phone…"

Ella would sob. "You promised me…"

"I know and it's killing me…but I need to explain something to you but right now I run the risk of you sending a warning the moment my attention goes elsewhere…now hand it over…"ç

Ella would silently hand over her phone as Kevin would sigh and take a few steps away

"I know you heard how me and Mercucio's talk went with Lucy…"

"…yea…"

"You need to understand Lucy meant every word she said…don't tell me you can't imagine how bad and bloody that would become…"

"…yea…"

"We both know Vick sets her off just by being himself sometimes…he's by far the most defiant being in this world…we both know there's going to come a day where he's no longer just going act out in small ways or speak out…but act in what could be considered open rebellion…want know how that would've turned out?"

"…yes"

"My mothers would've given Lucy a blank check to deal with it…since they know Lucy is brutal and would make examples…especially of those that didn't openly rebel but had rebellious tendencies…with the deal in place…when Vick eventually does do something stupid me and Mercucio will be the ones to handle it…"

"…my friends"

"Lesson number 1 your parents taught you…at times you need to make sacrifices…to keep Lucy at bay took a price….and the price was those 4…once me and Mercucio weaken Lucy's position as favorite of our mothers we'll try to help them…but with Lucy as their favourite we do anything now and there'd be no way to help you guys…trust me…Lucy ever gets full control…day 1 everyone gets altered…and you most likely join her lovelies…"

Ella would remain silent

"So you see…Lucy's chosen 4 must sacrifice so everyone else stays safe…and if you warned them now…Lucy would know you spied on our meeting…would bring it before our mothers to justify taking you from me…and you know what would happen then…"

Ella would shake nervously and nod

Kevin would hand her phone back

"I'm sorry…but there was only so much ranting I could take before I had to set the record straight…"

Ella would silently nod

"Now please go get ready…"

Ella would silently nod and head to the bathroom

(Later)

Lucy would finish combing Nya's hair. "There! All finished! Now you look magnificent!"

Nya would look herself over in the mirror. "I like it."

"Oh I knew you would! Common it's time for breakfast!"

"Lead the way." Nya would respond

Lucy would smile and take her hand. "My mothers are gonna love you!"

"Swell."

They'd walk down to the dining hall where they'd see Vanellope, Candlehead, Mercucio, Kevin and Ella waiting for them at the table, with Royal Guards Annie and Marcy at the doorway

"Good morning to you all!" Lucy would state happily to everyone "I'd like to introduce Nya! The first of my lovelies!"

Nya would do a small bow

Lucy would bring Nya to the table and sit next to Vanellope, Nya would sit beside her and across from Ella

Ella would look at Nya scared and concerned.

Nya would look towards Vanellope nervously.

"Something wrong Nya?" Vanellope would ask

"Well you and Queen Candlehead have been staring at me…I just hope you approve of Lucy giving me the promotion…"

"Well as caring mothers we don't want our little girl being hurt or heartbroken…and knowing the benefits you got…we just feel your mother factored into your decision…"

"It crossed my mind…but my decision mostly came from the fact that I genuinely felt much closer to Lucy than just friends…even from our first days as friends I felt we were closer."

"Aw you!" Lucy would kiss her cheek

"Knowing your family…I know you descend from liars and power hungry monsters…I'll be watching you closely…" Candlehead would state

"I know both of my parents are criminals…I know my mother earned her sentence in the Fungeon…I also know that when you both look at me you see my mother…however I intend to prove to the 2 of you I'm nothing like my parents…I'm loyal, honest and only out to please my princess…"

"Then by all means…welcome to the family Nya…" Vanellope would respond

Nya would bow her head. "It's an honour…"

"Now let's eat!" Candlehead would state

(A few minutes later)

The Queens and their Royal Guards would leave for the Royal Raceway

Mercucio would clear his throat. "Lucy? Kevin? Could we speak in a private chamber for a moment? Something of high importance…"

"Sure." Kevin would stand up

"Alright." Lucy would state and follow them

Once the 3 were out of the room Ella would turn to Nya who'd still be eating

"Am I talking to the real Nya?"

"Yea."

"How can I be sure?"

"I know I look different style wise…but I still got my mind…I still remember everything so I guess ask me a question?"

"My most embarrassing moment."

"Ella you've had 3 big ones…for the sake of what sanity we have…the group dubbed them…'Ella's Surprise'…'Trouble at Tapper's'…and 'The Dishwasher Soap Bomb'…"

"It's still the real you…"

"As I said still have my mind…I just needed to forfeit everything else to Lucy…"

"So how did last night go?"

"After I texted you and the girls…she cashed in the favours I owed her over the last few months…"

"I'm assuming kissing and much more?"

Nya would blush. "For an expensive bed it creaks a lot…"

"What's her plans for everyone else?"

"After she went to sleep I saw some of her plans…she intends to completely alter Nikki at first…than slowly give her more and more of a leash…she says Vick radicalized her so she needs extreme measures…Linke…she plans on making slight alterations at first to ensure she's compliant…with Christie she plans to take the approach she had with me…offer a deal she has to say yes too…"

"Wait how can she make Christie says yes to this?"

"Christie won't have a choice…her mother may very well march her to the castle when her turn comes…"

"That's not good…"

"They need to run…today…while fixing my hair Lucy told me we were staying here since I needed to learn a few new rules since I'll be living in the castle from now on…but she plans on scooping the rest of the girls up the second our glorified daycare of a school finishes later…"

"What?! She altering all of them today?!"

"You know her…she plans do to something over days and weeks than throws it out the window cause she wakes up wanting it now…"

"This isn't good…"

"Ella for the love of all that's holy you have to let them know…you have no idea what it's like having your free will stripped completely away…"

"Kevin says I can't it runs a massive risk…"

"I don't give a shit what Kevin says…we're pawns to him…we mean nothing in the great struggle for power between the triplets of terror…Ella don't tell me you can spend the day with them knowing what's waiting for them!"

"I can't!"

"Then warn them!"

"Kevin says I'll be joining you guys if I do…"

"So what? Lucy would force you eventually anyway!"

Ella would take a deep breath. "Alright fine…I'm warning them first thing when I get there…"

"Good…thank you Ella…"

Ella would nod as Lucy would walk back in followed by her brothers

"Well if it is a situation B-3 you both know what to do…we agreed I wouldn't intervene in those manners…"

"Best keep you informed anyway…" Mercucio would state

"Appreciate that…" Lucy would respond

Kevin would tap Ella's shoulder. "Come on its time to go."

"Ok." She'd get up

"Won't be joining you today brothers got a few rules I need to get Nya caught up on…I'll swing by near the end of the day though…" Lucy would state

"Alright." Mercucio would state

Ella would walk around the table and hug Nya. "I'll see you later ok?"

"You know where to find me!" Nya would state with a smile

Lucy would lead Nya towards the Fungeon

"Why are we going down here?"

"You'll see…now please cooperate and don't fight back…"

"As you wish…"

Lucy would lead her into a cell and restrain her to a table

"May I atleast know what purpose this serves?"

"I need you to tell me everything Ella told you…afterwards you'll be shown a few videos on the new rules you must follow and instructions on how your expected to behave…you'll watch those while I make the preparations for the rest of the gang to become my lovelies tonight! After that you'll see your mother and I may get us ice cream before I go scoop up the gang!"

"That sounds…lovely…"

"Great! So tell me what did Ella say?" Lucy would ask as she'd touch Nya's forehead with one finger. "Let's bring up your vow of loyalty…"

Nya would feel the tingling feeling from the night prior. "I still have control…atleast I think…though as hard as I'm trying I can't think up a straight lie…let's see if lying by omission works…Ella you better warn the girls fast…"

She'd take a deep breath. "She fears your going to alter Christie, Linke and Nikki…she wants to warn them…she fears you altered me…"

"Why does she think that?"

"She feared you altered me...from how I acted and the fact I spent the night with you only further fueled her fears…"

"Hmm…thank you for the information…" Lucy would tap Nya's forehead and Nya would feel the tingling feeling fade

"My pleasure princess…should I begin learning the new rules?"

Lucy would place a large monitor above the table and begin playing a few videos

"I'll be back before the videos end! Don't miss me too badly!" She'd walk out

(Elsewhere)

Ella would follow Kevin to school

"You don't have to stick by my side today…" Kevin would state

Ella would quickly walk away and he'd sigh

Christie, Nikki and Linke would be at their lockers staring at their phones hoping for any response from Nya, none having heard a word from her

"Don't bother she won't respond…" Ella would state as she'd walk up to them

"Why?" Linke would ask

"Lucy didn't alter her…though she's staying with her at the castle since she now needs to learn new rules since she'll be living at the castle…" Ella would reply

"Zat isn't good…" Christie would state

Nikki would look at Ella. "What else something is clearly on your mind…"

"Nya said she's coming to collect you all later near the end of the day…and that you needed to run…"

The 3 would look at Ella

"Tonight? Are you kidding me?!" Christie would ask

"Fuck this I'm out of here!" Linke would slam her locker shut

"We can't stay here…we're actually fucked…" Nikki close her locker

"You guys can't run you know we can't leave till arcade close…remember when Charles snuck out? They sent damn CLAW officers after him."

"Clearly what Lucy meant was we're losing our freedom at the end of the day! We can't stay here…" Linke would panic slightly

Christie would get a text, she'd look at it and sigh

"What is it?" Ella would ask

"My mozer has informed me to return home immediately…"

"Just makes it easier for Lucy doesn't it?" Linke would ask

"Yes but if I don't go she'll send dogs after me…as she did last time I didn't obey her orders…"

"How are you going to get away?"

"Not sure…but I'll figure it out….good luck girls…" Christie would close her locker and leave

Everyone would watch her leave

Vick would watch her leave and look at Floyd. "Nya hasn't responded at all?"

"Nothing since the short call last night where she told me everything I told you…" Floyd would reply

"I'm not liking the look of this…"

(A few minutes later)

Christie would enter her home

"Mozer…you summoned me?"

"In the living room darling…come join me…"

Christie would go to the living room and see her mother sitting on one of the couches sipping away at a drink. "Sit down my dear…"

Christie would sit down

Torvald would take a sip from her drink. "Today's a special day my dear."

"Oh?"

"Yes…your to go to the castle…Lucy plans on giving you a promotion to a position of power…a massive honour for both you and the family…"

"Promotion? Vot kind?"

"I believe Lucy is using the term lovelies…essentially making you a right hand man of sorts…wanted to bestow the honour on you first today…"

"…oh…"

"Something wrong my dear?"

"No…it's just that Lucy spoke of it but it won't work…"

"How's that?"

"I'm in love viz Linke and vice versa…ve care deeply for Lucy…but ve see her as a very close friend…"

Torvald would put her glass down. "Christie your going to go to the castle and accept the gift Lucy is going to give you."

"But mozer-"

"NO BUTS CHRISTIE!" Torvald would snap at her

Christie would flinch

Torvald would stand up. "Sorry for snapping…but you need understand this is an important moment in your life now come along…"

Christie would nod and stand up

Torvald would walk her out of the house and towards the castle

"Mozer?" Christie would ask after a few minutes of walking

Yes dear?

"Am I a disappointment?"

"Of course not my dear! You and your brothers are my most prized possessions! My crowning achievements in life…I'm sorry for snapping at you…but you know well that whatever the princess wants the princess gets…"

"Of course I'm sorry…"

"No apology needed my darling…"

"No I meant for zis…" Christie would disappear in a flash of flames

"CHRISTIE!" Torvald would shout out angrily

(Later)

Copy Vanellope would be giving a lesson on karts, a lesson she had given a half a dozen times but it was a slow day and she was not giving it her best effort

Vick would keep glancing at the Royal brothers

Kevin would notice and go to ask him when he'd get a text, he'd read it and look at Mercucio

"Lucy wants to see us outside…"

Mercucio would nod and follow him out

Vick would blast Copy Vanellope with a giant ball of lightning knocking her off her feet

"Ok so how bad is the situation what can I do to help?" He'd ask as he'd turn towards Linke and Nikki

"So Nya got turned into what amounts essentially as Lucy's fucking property…Lucy plans on scooping us up to alter us to be the same…Christie's mother forced her to go back home…according to texts she sent her mother was marching her to the castle before she teleported away and hid in Gloyd's tunnels…point is we're fucked…and not sure if you noticed but there was extra security around the school today…they're ready for an escape attempt…"

"Floyd where does the tunnel system connect to the schools?"

"Why do you think there's one?" Floyd would ask

"Don't bullshit me not fucking now…where are those tunnels?"

Floyd would get stressed as everyone would stare at him. "Gym…in the gym…in the one storage closet no one goes into…"

Vick would turn back to Nikki. "Ok…you 2 head there…"

Nikki and Linke would stand up as Kevin, Mercucio and Lucy would walk in

"Good afternoon everyone! How is everyone?" Lucy would ask happily

"I'm decent eh…how are you this morning eh?" Martin would ask

"I am happy! Thank you for asking! But onto the business at hand…" She'd look over at Nikki and Linke. "I'd like you 2 to accompany me to the castle."

"Why the hell should we?!" Nikki would shout

"I'm the princess…and it was a direct request…"

"Well the answer is no!" Nikki would shout again

Lucy's eye would twitch. "I'm sorry?"

"You heard me!"

Lucy would take a step towards Nikki when Vick would step in her way

"Move Vick"

"No…"

"Don't cause problems…"

"How about I do that?"

Kevin would take a step forward. "Vick back off!"

Lucy's eye twitch would worsen. "Move before I really hurt you…"

Vick eyes would narrow. "Make me." He'd send out a massive blast of lightning hitting Lucy sending her flying into the wall, and striking both Kevin and Mercucio knocking them to the ground

Linke would immediately teleport away in a flash of fire, Nikki would run out the door

Kevin would try to stop her only to be blasted by a beam of energy, Mercucio would turn to see Olivia's arm molded into a blaster, before he could do anything Vick would shock him again

"ENOUGH!" Lucy would stop Nikki with the force and fling her across the room, she'd crash into the wall hard falling to the floor out cold, Lucy would then begin using the force to choke both Vick and Olivia

"Stop it! You're hurting them!" Sophie would shout

"Shut up!" Lucy would respond as she'd pull both Vick and Olivia to her. "Look me in the eyes…I want see you both die…"

"Let my sister go!" Sophie would lunge at Lucy as her hands would turn into sharp claws and she'd slash at Lucy's arms, Lucy would release her hold and fight against Sophie

Kevin would stand up and draw his blaster and fire a shot at the ceiling. "Everyone else stay back!"

The others would remain at their desks.

Lucy would use the force and throw Sophie into the ceiling than slam her into the floor

"Ok Lucy that's enough!" Mercucio would shout

Lucy would look at her brother before taking a deep breath. "Very well…" she'd pull Nikki to her with the force as Olivia, Sophie and Vick would look up to see the royals towering above them

Lucy would look at her brothers. "I shall report this incident to our mother's but as agreed I shall let the 2 of you handle it…you called it Mercucio…me showing up really did cause a B-3 situation…"

She'd walk out carrying Nikki with the force

Kevin would look at the 3 on the ground. "Mercucio the level 3 chains…"

Mercucio would restrain the 3 with chains that would negate their powers, practically shutting them off while the chains were on them

Kevin would look at the 3 on the floor. "You know exactly where you're all going…so get moving!"

Sophie and Olivia would get on their feet and begin walking out escorted by Mercucio

"Vick get moving."

"Fuck you…"

"Don't test my patience…"

"Fuck you! Fuck your psycho sister! Fuck your delusional fucking mothers! Fuck this mod damn nightmare of a game!"

"VICK LAST WARNING! GET MOVING!"

"How about you do us both a favour and pull the trigger! Do it! DO IT MOTHERFUCKER! PULL THE FUCKING TRIGGER!"

Kevin would set his blaster to stun and would shoot Vick and he'd would collapse to the floor.

Kevin would look up at everyone still at their chairs. "ANYONE ELSE?!"

Everyone would shake their heads silently

"NO! BY ALL MEANS REBEL! GIVE ME A REASON!"

Everyone would nervously shake their heads

"The next time…I swear on the games code…I'm not showing any of you mercy…now…you are all going to come to the castle tomorrow to give me a detailed account of what happened here…am I understood?"

Everyone would nod once more

"Then in 5 minutes you are all permitted to leave…I shall see you all tomorrow…" Kevin would leave dragging Vick out behind him

(Meanwhile)

There'd be a flash of fire and Linke would appear in the gym. "Hate that I can't just teleport directly into those tunnels…" She'd go in the storage closet and see Christie standing beside the hatch

"Hey hot stuff! How did you find this place?" Linke would hug Christie tight

"Floyd placed several maps in ze tunnels." Christie would hug her back

"Lucy came to the class to get me and Nikki…Vick blasted her with lightning and started fighting the Royals…I hope he bought her enough time…"

The 2 would look towards the entrance, they'd hear the faint noises of the brawl taking place in the classroom

Then there'd be silence

"I doubt she's coming…" Christie would say

"Let's give her one more minute…" Linke would respond

"No ve need to start running! Now!"

"Nikki will get here…"

Lucy would appear at the entrance. "Oh good Christie's here aswell!" She'd freeze both with the force

"I…told…you…so!" Christie would yell at Linke

Lucy would walk over to the 2 as they'd see an unconscious Nikki floating behind her

"I make a simple request to see you all today and this is the treatment I get?" Lucy's eye would twitch. "I wanted to see you first Christie! I even pulled you out of this place early! And you run away?! And Linke! I simply ask you directly to come to the castle and what do you do?! Let Nikki run her mouth than run away when Vick had the nerve to attack me?! I'M MAD! AT BOTH OF YOU!"

She'd place a necklace around each of their necks. "There that'll dull your powers…now explain yourselves! You first Linke!" She'd unfreeze Linke who'd dive for the hatch, Lucy would stop her with the force and pull her back to her and begin choking her.

"Fine then be that way!" She'd slam her into the wall knocking her out, she'd turn to Christie. "Gonna run from me too?" She'd unfreeze her

Christie would fall to her knees. "No…I give up…you vin…"

"Not that I could lose to begin with Christie…" Lucy would state coldly

"…So ve all become your lovelies?"

"That is the plan yes despite the actions of you 3 today…"

"Me and Linke love each ozer…your a very close friend to us…but ve feel love for each other…"

Lucy would take her Lightsaber out of her purse, glaring at Christie. "And what did I say about that when I formed this group?"

"Consequences would be severe?" Christie would respond nervously

"Right you are…" She'd ignite her lightsaber and would go to strike Linke

"NO! VAIT!" Christie would shout

Lucy would stop, her eye twitch worsening by the second. "Give me one good reason…ONE!"

"Linke is meant to be one of your lovelies…you may plan to alter ze 2 of us for vot ve did…but if you give me mercy and let me keep my free vill…I promise you on my very code I'll be your most loyal servant…"

"I doubt that…"

"I PROMISE!"

"So you swear to be mine and only mine forever?"

"…My life is yours princess…"

"And you'll follow my every order?"

"…Too ze letter…"

"Alright than…-She'd pass her lightsaber to Christie…kill Linke…"

"I'm sorry?" Christie would ask horrified

"You heard me…you said you'd follow my orders…"

"…I…I…I can't…"

"Fine…-her eye would twitch-…I'll make sure when I'm done with the 2 of you…you'll both regret breaking the rules…and never remember each other…"

"NO! NO! NO PLEASE!" Christie would plea

"THEN DO WHAT I ORDERED YOU TO DO CHRISITE! OR ELSE STOP WASTING MY TIME!"

Christie would hesitate for a moment, tears would fall down her face as she'd ignite the light saber and swing down aiming for Linke's neck, Lucy would freeze her with the force the lightsaber blade mere inches from Linke's neck

"…I'm satisfied…for now…" She'd take the lightsaber from Christie and unfreeze her

"I did vot you asked…" Christie would say with a sob

"Yes…and for that…I won't punish you severely for your actions today…but I'm still upset with you…and I got a lot to do tonight…good thing I spent the day preparing…"à

"Preparing for vot?" Christie would ask

"I knew if I asked any of you to come to the castle only Nya would…hence why I invited her last night…I gave her the honour of being the first to join my lovelies because she had earned it and I knew she would be the only one to come accept it…unlike the rest of you who ran…I knew Nikki would be the most resistant…Linke closely behind…with you? You retaining free will depends on how my night goes…"

"Be merciful please…" Christie would nervously plea

"We'll see what mood you all put me…things are already not looking good for any of you…"

"Lead ze vay zen my princess…"

"Oh no don't go thinking you can fool me like that! You lead the way Christie…you know exactly where I'm taking you 3…"

"…Ze Fungeon?"

"Lead the way my lovely…"

Christie would look at the ground as she'd walk out if the gym and lead Lucy to the castle, Linke and Nikki being carried with the force.

(A few minutes later)

As they'd approach the gate Christie would see her mother waiting for her, she'd keep her gaze at the ground feeling her mothers ice cold glare

"Stop." Torvald would say as Christie would walk pass

"Y-yes mozer?"

"Look at me…"

Christie would look up towards her mother only to be slapped hard twice. "DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AT ME!" Torvald would shout furiously

Christie would stare at the ground

"Don't you dare think you can return home as anything less Lucy's most loyal servant…am I understood?"

Christie would nod her head

Torvald would slap her one more time. "Now get back to walking!"

Christie would silently lead Lucy to the Fungeon

"Do ve really need to be down here?"

"Be glad I didn't bring you to the torture cells you've all become accustomed too!"

Christie would nod

"The cell we're heading to is the second one on the right."

Christie would walk to the cell and see Nya laying restrained on a table watching a monitor attentively, she'd open the door and walk in as Nya would look towards the door and see everyone entering

"Well…we're doomed…Floyd…you better make my deal with Lucy worth it…" Nya would say to herself

Lucy would restrain Nikki and Linke in similar fashion to Nya.

"Sorry Nya I didn't expect to be gone so long…how were the videos?" She'd ask as she'd undo Nya's restraints

"They were informative…they started over so I watched to see if I had missed anything the first time…" Nya would respond

"That's my girl!" Lucy would kiss her. "Now you've earned a reward…"

"Reward?" Nya would ask

"There's a special someone waiting a level down for you…I made sure she was ready for your visit…"

"You're not coming to supervise?"

"I trust you…"

Nya would hug Lucy tightly. "Thank you!"

"My pleasure! I'll swing by later when I need you…"

Nya would nod and run out of the cell towards the stairs leading down to the lower levels of the Fungeon

Christie would see Lucy's smile disappear as she'd turn towards her. "Nya made it warm for you…come on…"

Christie would silently lay on the table as Lucy would restrain her and set the monitors up

"Vot is zat for?" She'd ask

"Videos and instructions of a few new rules you'll need to follow while living in the castle and instructions on how your meant to act around the Royal family and guards…"

"Ok…"

Lucy would pull on a lever and a wall would drop from the ceiling dividing the cell in 2, Christie on one end, everyone else on the other

Lucy would walk over to Nikki who'd be waking up

"Nice nap Nikki?"

"Fuck you…"

Lucy would smile. "Don't worry there'll be some of that down the line lovely…"

"You can't make be that…just being your friend was torture enough!"

Lucy would laugh

"I was expecting a beating or a severed arm for that…"

"Why would I do that to one of my lovelies?"

"I'm not one of your damn lovelies!"

Lucy's right hand would glow. "Trust me Nikki…you will be…"

"Wait…no! NO! You can't do that to me!"

"It won't hurt abit…" She'd place her hand on Nikki's forehead and Nikki would thrash around violently as she'd begin to glow.

(Elsewhere)

Taffyta would sit silently in her cell, she'd hear someone running towards the cell, she'd look up as the door would open and Nya would come running through

"Mommy!"

"Nya!"

They'd hug each other tight

Taffyta would quickly notice the changes in Nya's appearance. "Oh Nya what happened?"

"…Stuff…"

"Lucy told me you were becoming one of her supposed 'lovelies'…"

"Well I guess she told you how that works?"

"Yes! Did she force you into it?!"

"No…I actually struck a deal with her…"

"What deal?"

"She and her brothers stop tormenting Floyd daily…and I get to see you whenever I please…it may not seem like much…but I wasn't going to get much more out of it without her just straight up altering me…so I prioritized making Floyd's life a little bit easier…"

"How has she treated you?"

"Pretty well so far? Amazingly considering that I'm essentially property now…"

"Oh Nya…" Taffyta would hold her tight

"I'm fine mommy…let's stop talking about all that…I just want to feel the warmth of your arms…" Nya would hug her tight

"Alright my dear…" Taffyta would hold her tightly feeling a rare moment of happiness holding her daughter

(Meanwhile)

Linke would wake and see Nikki glowing and thrashing about as Lucy would keep her hand planted firmly on Nikki's forehead

"Seems it takes longer with resistance…" Lucy would state as she'd look at a monitor beside the table. "…know what? I'm going to implement the extreme measures Nya tested…maybe Nikki will learn better as generously give her more back over time…" Lucy would state to no one in particular

Linke would watch in horror as Nikki would scream one last time before going limp on the table, Lucy would take her hand off Nikki's forehead and the glow would slowly fade

Nikki's appearance would be different, her hair being few shades lighter, her eyes having changed from light green to dark purple, her teeth becoming unnaturally white, and her nose would be slightly smaller

Lucy would smile and look down at Nikki. "Hello my lovely…"

"Hello my princess!" Nikki would respond with a big smile

Lucy would smile and kiss her forehead. "I'm going to go work on Linke afterwards I'll release you and we can go have fun."

"Sounds like a plan!"

Linke would stare up at the ceiling as she'd start hyperventilating in a panic

Lucy would rub her cheek. "It's not good for your health to do that…"

"P-please don't change me!"

"…It's too late for that…"

"PLEASE! NO!"

Lucy would place a finger on her forehead. "Give me a reason Linke…"

"I'll be loyal!"

"Do better."

"I'll do whatever you want!"

"Was to be expected anyway…"

"Please! I'll do anything!"

"Ok give me an honest answer…do you love Christie more than me? Despite knowing the rules the group had to follow?"

"…I did…but there was an immediate connection there! We both felt it! We kept it a secret because we didn't want to insult you!"

"Well that needs to be changed…"

"Please don't! I have so many memories with her!"

Lucy's hand would glow. "I'll let you keep them…and eventually you'll regain free will…but running from me sealed your fate.."

"Please! Anything! I'LL DO ANYTHING! JUST DON'T DO TO ME WHAT YOU DID TO NIKKI!"

"Fine…don't resist the process like Nikki did…and you'll regain your free will in a week…I'll let you and Christie remain close…but Ill ensure love and loyalty is to me first and take priority…how about that?"

"Please don't alter me…"

"Fine full alteration it is!"

"No! I'll take your deal!"

Lucy would smile. "This won't hurt abit…" She'd gently place her hand on Linke's forehead

Linke would feel a tingling feeling all over. "Christie…I should've listened to you and ran…" She'd close her eyes as she'd glow briefly and Lucy would remove her hand

Linke would open her eyes and smile at Lucy. "Hello my princess!"

"Hello my lovely…" Lucy would kiss her forehead

She'd take off the restraints on both girls and they'd get up.

"This is perfect you 2 are adorable!"

Both girls would nod happily

Lucy would pull on the lever and the wall would be raised back into the ceiling

Christie would look away from the monitor and see Lucy approach with Linke and Nikki

"Ze videos stopped…"

"Learn anything from them?"

"Yes…"

"Good I'll be quizzing you tomorrow on them…"

"Alright…"

Lucy would take her restraints off. "Now to take you to my room…"

"…ok."

Lucy would take her hand and lead her to her room, she'd turn to Linke and Nikki. "I almost forgot go fetch Nya I forgot she was seeing her mother."

"Will do!" Both would respond with a smile and leave

Lucy would lead Christie in and lock the door.

"…So…vot are ve doing?" Christie would ask nervously

"I didn't alter you…because of promises you made…now strip down…"

"…As you vish…" Christie would comply with the order

Lucy would smile and rub her shoulders. "Smile…I love your smile…"

"…I'm all yours princess…" Christie would respond forcing a smile

(Hours later)

Olivia and Sophie would sit in a cell their hands still chained behind their backs

"Why the fuck did you blast Kevin like that?! With all 3 Royals there doing anything remotely rebellious was a god damn death sentence!" Sophie would shout at her sister

"I don't know! I saw a chance to finally do something to one of the Royals and took it! It was a once in a lifetime chance!"

"Emphasis on once in lifetime…" Mercucio would state as he'd enter the cell

"What do you mean?" Sophie would ask

Mercucio would draw a pistol and put it against Olivia's forehead

"Attacking a Royal like that counts as an attempt on their life…which is punishable by death followed by code deletion…and with over a dozen witnesses and 3 Royals among them…Olivia your life is at an end…"

Olivia's eyes would widen in horror. "Wait! No! I-I-I didn't mean too!"

"Your face said otherwise when you shot my brother…"

"Please! I'll never do it again! I'll never be a threat again!" Tears would form in Olivia's eyes

"Shhh…I know you won't be…."

"Mercucio please! You don't have to do this! Please don't kill my sister!" Sophie would cry out

"Punishments are to be carried out and examples made…Olivia did what she did with a clear conscious…" Mercucio would reply coldly

Olivia would begin to cry. "Please I didn't mean it! I'll do anything!"

"Mercucio please! She's sorry! She won't do it again!"

Mercucio would look Olivia coldly in the eyes. "Then you better think of an alternative fast…and if you dare say go free I'll send you to an eternal sleep faster than it takes you to eat 3 ice cream cones…"

Olivia would panic as she'd think as Mercucio would keep the barrel of the gun hard pressed against her head

"…3…"

Olivia would stutter as she'd continue panicking

"…2…"

Sophie would look at Mercucio horrified

"…1…" Mercucio would look like he's about to pull the trigger

"I'LL LET YOU HAVE ME! YOU CAN HAVE SOPHIE! WE'D BE 100% YOURS!" Olivia would cry out

Mercucio would look at her confused. "What?"

"I know you like both of us! You eye me and Sophie all the time! You can have us both! We'll both do whatever you want and serve your every desire!" Olivia would shout

Mercucio would look at Sophie. "Do you agree with what your sister says?"

Sophie would shake nervously but nod. "We'd both be yours…just spare my sister…"

"And anything I want?"

"…Anything." Sophie would respond

"Anything and I mean anything you ask for we'll give you! There's nothing we won't do!" Olivia would shout tears in her eyes. "Just please don't kill me!"

Mercucio would put his pistol away. "Very well…that arrangement works for me…"

He'd put a necklace around the sisters. "This will be to nullify your powers…don't touch them they have built it defenses to stop you from removing them…"

"Who made them?" Sophie would ask

"Lucy did…"

"Not surprising." Olivia would state

He'd remove the chains from both sisters and they'd stand up

"Though before we leave…both of you lift your shirts…"

"Do we have too?"

"You said and I quote 'anything I ask you'll give'…"

The sisters would sigh and do as ordered

"Thanks for that girls now let's bring you to my mothers….so we can explain how the situation has changed…"

"Lead the way our prince…" They'd respond

"Oh I like the sound of that…" Mercucio would state with a smile and lead them out

(Meanwhile)

Vanellope and Candlehead would sit in the throne room

"So how many meetings tonight?" Candlehead would ask

"Surprisingly even after the incident only 2…first with Akio and then with Phipps to discuss the actions done by their children and the punishments they shall receive…the families of Lucy's lovelies have been informed of their children's' promotions and what those entail…"

"So small night? Seeing how the children were involved in today's events I assume they'll be attending?"

"Yes and yes…they were told the meetings start at 8…"

"…it's 7:50…"

"They still have 10 minutes…according to Mercucio he has a surprise for us…"

"Oh? This will be interesting…"

A few moments later Kevin would enter with Ella by his side. "Evening mothers…"

"Evening Kevin you're the first to arrive tonight…" Vanellope would state

Kevin would sit on his throne and Ella would sit on a small chair beside him

Lucy would walk in followed by Nya, Christie, Linke and Nya. "Hello mothers! I'd you to introduce you to my new lovelies!"

Christie, Linke and Nikki would bow

Ella would look at her friends horrified, her gaze would stay stuck in Nikki and her clear changes, the most concerning being the fact that no matter what Nikki's left eye stayed concealed behind her hair no matter what

Vanellope would look at Christie, Linke and Nikki. "You all have much to prove…you each have high expectations…but if Lucy trusts you than as will I…"

"We shall not disappoint!" The girls would respond in unison

Lucy would sit on her throne as her lovelies would stand around her

"So all were missing is Mercucio…" Candlehead would state

On cue Mercucio would enter followed by Olivia and Sophie.

"Mothers…Olivia and Sophie chose to pledge their lives to me and become my servants as punishment for the crimes they committed today…"

"Olivia shot me with an energy beam!" Kevin would shout angered

"Instead of ending her life and making her a martyr…her life will now be in servitude…it's fair Kevin…"

"No it's not!" Kevin would shout

Vanellope would raise her hand silencing him. "I agree with Mercucio…death would just give her a release…"

"But mother!"

Vanellope would stand up. "I've told you already Kevin…killing doesn't bring the misery that endless servitude does…"

"But you kill Taffyta constantly!"

"Because servitude is too good for her…and you've seen what she goes through on a daily basis to make up for it…"

Kevin would cross his arms as Ella would elbow him

"What?" He'd look at her as she'd give him a look and he'd sigh. "Fine! Mercucio's plan works for me…"

Vanellope would walk towards Olivia and Sophie. "On your knees the both of you…bow your heads…"

Both sisters would do as ordered as Vanellope would stand between the 2 and rub the back of their necks. "Much is expected of the 2 of you…"

"We understand…" Olivia would nervously respond

"Don't worry about your belongings some Candy servants will fetch them for you…"

"We can't go home?" Sophie would ask

"You agreed to serve Mercucio…so you shall be by his side at all times…is there a problem?"

"No of course not!" Sophie would respond

"Good…" Vanellope would state as both girls would feel a burning sensation on their neck

They'd each rub the back of their neck and feel a brand like mark

"Those are loyalty marks…the same one your father has on his hands infact…aslong as you are a loyal servant those marks will remain…lose those…and Olivia's original punishment will be carried out on both of you…understand?"

Both girls would shake in fear. "Y-yes we do!"

"Good…you both may rise…" Vanellope would go back and sit on her throne

The sisters would stand up and follow Mercucio to his throne.

"Sit on the arms of my chair…" He'd state and the girls would silently comply

"Talk about timing we did all that just as the clocks striking 8 and I hear Akio approaching!" Candlehead would state

"Indeed…kill the lights…" Vanellope would look at Candlehead who'd nod and take a remote out of a bag connected to her chair and shut all the lights in the throne room off

The throne room doors would open and Akio would silently enter and walk to a small dim circle in the middle of the room, he'd bow his head

"…You wished to speak on the actions of my daughters today?"

"Yes…not only did Sophie dare to attack Lucy, Olivia made an attempt on Kevin's life by shooting at him…" Vanellope would respond

"I'm not here to make excuses for them…I'm just asking for mercy…surely Sophie didn't have malicious intentions…"

"From Lucy's account Sophie only attacked her in defence of her sister…while respectable still amounted to something quite terrible…" Candlehead would state

"…That being?"

"Rebellion…punishable by death or life imprisonment for Sophie…though for Olivia we'd have to add her attempted murder on Kevin…which carries the punishment of death and code deletion…"

Everyone would see for the first time in nearly forever Akio's normally calm expression would become one of pure horror

"They're…they're still so young…what they did was wrong yes…punishments even harsh and severe are understandable…but deleting Olivia completely? my Queens with all due respect I feel that's a step too far…"

"You dare question us on this? Does your loyalty mark you've spent all these years maintaining mean nothing?"

"I'm not questioning your need to set examples…I'm questioning the act of deleting someone from the game…I mean it's the ultimate sanction! It's irreversible!"

"She attempted to take my son's life…losing her existence should be her punishment…" Vanellope would respond

"Surely there's is something! Anything! Anything that could be a suitable alternative!"

"Your lucky we're in a forgiving mood today Akio…" Candlehead would state

"Then how have you chosen to go about punishing them?"

"We'll let them tell you…"

A light would turn on above Mercucio's throne illuminating Olivia and Sophie

Akio would silently look at his daughters

Sophie would look at Olivia who'd sigh

"Instead of our original sentences…we offered to be Mercucio's servants…"

"…oh…"

Mercucio would clear his throat. "They get to live their lives…they'll visit you often…however from this point forward they will be at my beck and call…and the castle shall be their new home…"

"…alright…thank you for sparing their lives…" Akio would bow

The light above Mercucio would go out. "Now leave…we have another meeting to attend to…"

Akio would nod and leave and would pass Phipps on the way out

"Evenings royal family…" Phipps would stand in the middle of the room and bow

"Your son became a rebel…attacked 3 Royals…and attempted to incite a riot…further more he radicalized 2 others to his deranged views…those 2 also aided him in his attack earlier today…I don't think I need to tell you how severe these infractions are…" Vanellope would state

"Of course! My son has no excuse for what he did and I don't plan on making any…just please understand…Vick is still immature for his age…just like many of the offspring are…"

"Excuse you? You think our children are immature?" Candlehead would ask

"Oh of course not! Infact I'd say you raised them amazingly! Each is good at their own thing…Kevin thinking on the fly and improvising…Lucy's brilliant ability to plan long term schemes…and of course Mercucio to be the mediator between the 2 of them and between the Royals and the people!"

"Quit sucking up and get to your point…" Lucy's voice would echo in the dark room

"My point is…I know you intend harsh punishment but you must understand how Vick and others will react…treating him harshly will only inspire others to do worse…"

"Then it's a failure of their parents to properly teach them the way things work in our world Phipps…" Vanellope would state

"Again Vick and a few others haven't properly learned that lesson yet…punishing him severely here at this stage of life would only do more harm than good…"

There's be a long few moments of silence

"You are certain of this?" Vanellope would ask

"100%…" Phipps would respond

"How about this…Vick is given a month-long pain sentence…which my children will carry out…after he will spent 11 months doing menial labour in the castle…"

Phipps would nod. "That works perfectly…it's harsh…strict but fair…you make an example but show that you won't spill the blood of the younger generation…"

"Then it's settle…now get out of our sight…" Candlehead would state

Phipps would leave as the lights in the throne room would turn back on

Vanellope hand would twitch abit

"Taffyta?" Candlehead would ask knowing it was a sign Vanellope had a urge to inflict any sort of pain or suffering

"Taffyta…" Vanellope would respond and walk down the steps towards the Fungeon

"See you kids later…" Candlehead would respond and follow her down

Nya would sigh

"Something wrong my lovely?" Lucy would ask

Nya would force a smile and look at her. "Of course not my sweet princess…"

Kevin would clear his throat drawing everyone's attention

"Servants I'd like to speak with my siblings alone…"

Everyone would bow and leave, the second the doors would close Ella would turn towards Nya

"So-" She'd go to speak when Nya would put a finger on her lips before turning to Nikki and Linke.

"Could you go warm up the princess' pillows? She adores warm pillows…"

"Good idea!"

"Me and Christie will stay here you 2 go!"

They'd smile at each other before Nikki and Linke would leave

Nya would sigh and turn back to Ella who'd look horrified. "W-what did she do to them?"

"Altered zem to hell and back…" Christie would state

"How bad?" Ella would ask

"I'm sure she rewrote Nikki's entire code…despite her saying she wouldn't…" Nya would respond

"And Linke?"

"…She let us love one anozer…but altered Linke to insure she treated Lucy as number one and me as a close number 2…"

"How did you keep your free will?"

"She made me earn it…"

"How?"

Christie would pull shirt abit exposing lip stick kisses still on her neck and shoulders

"Oh…"

"Ze second I don't treat her like a number 1…she's altering me…"

"So next time you upset her?"

"Yes…so any moment honestly…you know her…she gets upset at random…"

"Don't remind me…"

Ella would look at Olivia and Sophie. "So what happened?"

Sophie would look at Olivia angered

"What?" Olivia would ask

"I hate you…" Sophie would respond

"Girls answer the question…" Ella would state

Olivia would sigh. "Mercucio was about to execute me…so I offered up my life in service…"

Sophie would cut her off. "She offered mine up aswell…which put me in a spot cause Mercucio than asked me if I was alright with the arrangement…I know had I said no he was immediately murdering Olivia infront of me…so I said yes…now we're Mercucio's literal property till mod knows when…"

"Welcome to every day since Lucy chose to make us her friends…" Nya would state

"I'll send you a brochure in ze morning…" Christie would add

"Not funny…" Olivia would state

(Meanwhile)

Kevin would look at Mercucio. "You really pulled a Lucy on the twins? Really Mercucio?"

"Hey!" Lucy would state

"No as a matter of fact I did not go Lucy's depraved route…"

"Again! Hey!"

"Then explain Mercucio…"

"I was following through on your order to execute Olivia immediately…but she offered both her and Sophie's life in service to me…why would I say no to 2 personal servants?"

Lucy would giggle. "Not mention you no longer have to choose which twin you want since if you want both will be in your bed with you!"

Mercucio would look at Lucy. "Shut up Lucy!"

She'd laugh. "Hey everyone knew you wanted both and couldn't choose!"

"Either way I don't like how you went about it…" Kevin would state

"Says the one who wanted her dead before her father was spoken too about it…"

Lucy would chuckle. "Are we done now? My lovelies are waiting…"

"Yea that's all…" Kevin would state

"I call dibs on Vick's torture session tomorrow!" Lucy would jump out of her chair and skip out of the room and see Nya and Christie waiting for her

"Hello lovelies! Where are the rest?"

"Warming up your pillows before you go to bed!" Nya would respond with a smile.

"Let's not keep them waiting than!" Lucy would respond and lead the 2 down the hall

Ella would watch them leave as she'd feel Kevin tap her shoulder. "Let's go…"

Ella would nod and follow him to his room. "So essentially 7 of us are servants/property of your family?"

"You're not a servant nor property."

"Yet…"

Kevin would sigh. "I'm not like my siblings you know that…Lucy is completely deranged…and knowing Mercucio and how he exploits situations I know for a fact he didn't intend to kill Olivia but scare her and her sister into becoming his servants…"

They'd enter his room.

"…Could I ask you an honest question and get an honest answer?" Ella would ask

"Yes?"

"…do you see me as an equal? Or just an object to possess?"

Kevin would look at her. "Of course I don't see you as an object!"

"Be honest…does my word mean anything to you? Do my wants or needs matter?"

"Of course!"

Ella would sigh. "Please be honest…"

Kevin would hug her tight. "I am being honest…your perfect the way you are…"

Ella would hug him silently

"I know seeing what Lucy did to your friends was incredibly hurtful to see…but I promise you I'm nothing like Lucy…and I'm not like Mercucio…I'll never change you like Lucy and never exploit you like Mercucio…"

"…Alright…"

"Let's head to bed…I feel you need to rest after what happened today…"

"…ok"

(Meanwhile)

Olivia and Sophie would wait outside the throne room

"I hate you so much right now! Had you not shot Kevin none of this would've happened!" Sophie would shout

"You chose to attack Lucy not me!" Olivia would respond

"Because she was killing you!"

"Look I'm sorry…I didn't intend for you to wind up here…"

Sophie would take a deep breath. "I'm still upset…but…wait I hear him walking towards the door…we'll talk later…"

A few moments later Mercucio would walk out of the throne room. "Sorry girls I had go discuss something with my mothers…let's head to my room it's getting late…"

"Lead the way prince…"

Mercucio would smile and lead them to his room, he'd open the door for them and close it behind him. "So I have another request…" He'd state

Both girls would turns towards him nervously. "And what would that be?"

"Take everything but your undergarments off."

Sophie would comply as Olivia would hesitate, she'd look at Sophie who'd glare back at her and sigh before also complying with the order

"May I go use the bathroom?" Olivia would ask

"Sure." Mercucio would respond

Olivia would go into the bathroom as Mercucio would look back at Sophie who'd stand there nervously

Mercucio would sit on the bed. "Sit on my lap Sophie."

Sophie would sit and look at him nervously

"Why so nervous? You've been in this position before…" Mercucio would state

"So has Olivia…but we were both fully clothed…"

Mercucio would chuckle. "Just see this as a taking a giant step forward…"

"I had always thought of eventually reaching this point…just not under these circumstances…"

"I won't do anything you don't want…if you don't want to go any further just yet just say so…"

"…No…as we promised whatever you want you get Mercucio…" Sophie would nervously state

"All I want is a hug right now…"

Sophie would wrap her arms around him

He'd smile. "Thanks."

"…Could I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"You eyed us both…but who did you really want between me and my sister?"

"Being honest couldn't decide…you were each adorable in your own ways…"

"…still who?"

"It no longer matters…you're both mine now…"

"…do you plan on going all the way with us…tonight?" Sophie would ask nervously

"The thought crossed my mind…though seeing what transpired today I feel everyone could do with a good rest…if you don't want too we won't…"

"…As we stated earlier…whatever you desire Mercucio…my life is yours I do as you please…I don't decide or chose anything…"

"I feel like cuddling with the 2 of you tonight…we'll see what tomorrow brings…that sound ok?"

"…Sounds right to me…"

Olivia would leave the bathroom and sit beside Mercucio. "So what's the plan for tonight?"

Mercucio would lay Sophie next to him and lay down. "Just cuddling…after today's events a good rest is in order…"

"Works for me…" Olivia would lay down beside him

(Down in the Fungeon)

Vick would sit silently in his cell his thoughts hounding after him

"WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HOLD BACK ALL 3 ROYALS WERE RIGHT FUCKING THERE!"

"IF I WENT FULL POWER I WOULD'VE HURT EVERYONE!"

"WELL YOU FUCKING FAILED EVERYONE NOW NIKKI, LINKE, CHRISTIE AND NYA ARE LUCY'S FUCKING PETS! AND WE KNOW FOR A FACT MERCUCIO IS GONNA EXPLOIT THE SITUATION TO TAKE OLIVIA ABD SOPHIE FOR HIMSELF! YOU BIG DUMB ASSHOLE!"

The sounds of the wall collapsing behind him would snap him out of it

"Whose there?" He'd look at the dark empty hole

"Quiet ze fuck down."

"Ricky?"

"Expect someone else to do somesing suicidally stupid?" He'd pop out of the hole and remove the restraints and take Vick through the opening into Gloyd's tunnel system

"I didn't know Gloyd had tunnels leading to the Fungeon

"He didn't…I added them…" He'd hear Floyd behind him

Vick would turn back towards the hole in the wall that would be seemingly repairing itself

"How is that?"

"My invention…" Vick would see Ryan pointing a ray at the wall

"Why you boys doing this?" Vick would ask

"Someone needs to stand up to the Royals…your one of the stronger "powered" kids…the others will need you…" Floyd would state

"Others? What about you?" Vick would ask

"There's others planning to revolt against the Royals…but they can't fight them openly…atleast not yet…but when they do fight they'll need your help…as for me…I'll be sitting on the sidelines…ever since Nya made a deal with Lucy I've had some peace from the Royals…but Kevin has watched me like a hawk since…so I can't be caught helping any of you cause I'm not going to risk my sister's health and well being given her perilous situation…"

"But we need some help from the adults…we can't do it on our own…"

"Ve vont be on our own…several adults are in on it…ze clock is ticking on ze Royals…" Ricky would state

Vick would smirk. "Then count me the fuck in!"

The wall would be fully repaired and Ryan would shut off his ray. "Ze vall is done time to go…"

"Ricky hang a hard left at the next fork in the tunnel it'll lead you straight Linder's hideout…good luck boys…till next time…" Floyd would state as he'd move a large boulder and go down a hidden tunnel

"Floyd I won't forget this…" Vick would state

"Just leave it at you owe me a ton…"

"Hate to cut ze fun times short but ve need to move in 15 seconds ze Queens vill discover you escaped…" Ricky would state

"Alright lead the way boys…"

Ricky would run down the tunnel Vick and Ryan quickly following behind

Vanellope would leave Taffyta's cell and let out a satisfied sigh

"Vanellope!" Candlehead would cry out

"What is it dear?" Vanellope would run over concerned

"Vick's gone!"

"WHAT?!"

The 2 would enter the cell and look around

"His arms were immobilized…he couldn't have picked these locks himself…even then the chain's materials were keeping him in a weakened state he shouldn't have even had the strength to even try it…" Vanellope would examine the restraints
